About the book
This book examines Jean Rhys's writings through the frames of feminist criticism and literary theory, while providing close readings of the texts and of their language. It explores the various forms of feminine dissent at work in Jean Rhys's fiction. Jean Rhys is shown to develop an ethics of subversion through resistance to closure, irony, parody and her daring rewriting of Jane Eyre. Each novel is treated as an aesthetic whole, with substantial references to Jean Rhys's short stories, for a more penetrating insight into her fictional universe.
